1. A method comprising:
- reading, over a control bus, a present value of voltage supplied to a component;
comparing the present value of the voltage to a predetermined minimum voltage associated with the component; and
writing, over the control bus, a setting that affects voltage provided to the component, wherein the writing is responsive to the comparing.
